So, I know I listed this before, but here it goes again. I currently live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; the geographical centre of the country - I have been working on the "Newbie" and "Elementary" lessons since November of 2008 and think I may actually be getting somewhere, But I need some one willing to practice the speach with me. Please, are there any pod listeners out there from Winnipeg who would be interested in helping me actually practice the speaking of Chinese?

You might want to give iTalki a look. From what I understand, it allows you to arrange conversations with language learners and teachers around the world over Skype, e-mail, etc. You can search for people by what languages they know, what languages they are learning, and where they are located, among other things. Good luck.

Post a sign at your local university. I did this when I lived in Edmonton and was inundated with native help. (I was paying for a tutor, but lots offered to help for free.)

Have you tried looking for a local Chinese community?
